My car lowered on Tein H-Tech springs, with Enkei RPF1 17×7 +43.
My car lowered on KYB Lowfer Sports KIT, with WORK Emotion 11R 16×6.5 +52. Reason for wheel change is due to rubbing issue at front after changing to KYB suspension.

Nice choice!!! I'm also lowered on tein s tech. And was thinking to get konig twerd 16x7 40offset and use OEM tires to save few dough . You think those will rub? Or should I find 50 offset wheels

Yes you will rub, S Tech springs is lower than H Tech springs.
Also, your wheels choice + OEM 185/55R16 tires will end up almost the same location as when I had the RPF1 with 205/45R17.
To be safe and not wasting your money, or spending more to fix rubbing issue later. I would really suggest you look for something with around 50 offset.

This is what I put on mine. No rubbing whatsoever with 195/55 R16 tires and Swift springs.
I hate rubbing so this is why I chose that setup. If rubbing would not have been a consideration I would have put larger tires and wheels with a much lower offset. Unfortunately Honda didn't give us much space to play with so if you don't want rubbing, chose your wheels and tires wisely.
I post a picture of the initial car that made me want those wheels. They look better on a grey Honda sport coupe but they don't look too shabby on the Fit as well.
